Hello Irish Zionist!
#1) Drop RoboForm. They used to have zero competition (I used them for over a decade) but that has changed. They did the same thing to me. Instead, grab LastPass:
http://lastpass.com/Make sure to grab the full install
AND LastPass for applications (makes it more like RoboForm with the tray icon). They have a RoboForm import. It only works with version 6 of RoboForm so if you are a later version, simply downgrade:
http://www.4shared.com/file/LYEhd5oi/AiRoboForm-6-10-0.htmlLastPass is completely free. It has the same features as the latest RoboForm and then stores the data on their server so you can access your logins from anywhere. And it's very secure. They can never restore a password or see any of your information because your data is encrypted on your machine locally before it is ever sent their server (just like Roboform does).
What are the differences?Roboform- Better search for encrypted notes
- More encryption algorithm options
- Slightly better interface with tray application
- Popup login notes
- A little better USB drive support (doesn't need portable Firefox - but does make a mess on your drive)
- Handles multiple credit cards in a slightly more organized way
- Better thumbprint scanner support
LastPass- Notes can have file attachments
- Generate pronounceable passwords
- Share notes with other LastPass users
- Automatic updates (Roboform is insane with manual updates)
- Free!
- Linux and more browsers supported including 64 bit browsers
- Detects and updates passwords better
- Unlimited storage space in cloud server
- Export data
- Allows you to restrict access from TOR or selected countries
- Allows you to easily copy the username or password to the clipboard
Other than that, they are the same.
#2) Install the latest Firefox. You need the security updates and certificates. Unfortunately, you really won't be successful running an older version. I tried.
Also, they have made a lot of speed and memory improvements recently.
Just make these changes:
Type "
about:config" in your address bar and hit enter to view your internal browser settings. Make these changes:
geo.enabled = false
dom.storage.enabled = false
browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled = false
browser.urlbar.trimURLs = falseTo put the tabs back:
browser.tabs.onTop = falseTo disable the irritating new downloader:
browser.download.useToolkitUI = true
browser.download.manager.retention = 0To stop the long wait after downloads:
browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone = falseInstall these addons:- AddBlock Plus
- Ghostery (make sure to go into advanced options and set everything)
- RefControl
- Status-4-Evar
- Facebook Disconnect
- Twitter Disconnect
- Google Privacy
Optional other cool addons to check out:- Copy Urls Expert
- Link Alert
- Self-Destructing Cookies (you have to create a whitelist)
- Speed Dial
- Thumbnail Zoom Plus
- Xmarks (made by the same folks as LastPass)
You can find these addons here:
http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/Lastly, you can back up all your Firefox settings using
MozBackup once you get things set up the way you wish:
http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/To delete your Firefox settings before a restore, delete these two folders (or to delete language settings):
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\MozillaWith the Spanish problem you are having, uninstall Firefox (recommended: then delete those two folders above) and reinstall the latest. That is the only way to fix your Spanish language problem.
I hope that helps,
Shlomo
